Official Dust+Dignity t-shirtWe did a limited run of these t-shirts and have them available in unisex sizes: medium, large, xlarge and xxlarge. (Please let us know what size you want.) These shirts are tagless which means never having an itchy neck again! The shirts are 100% pre-shrunk poly/cotton blend. They also have a coverstitched collar for comfort and a double-needle stitched for durability.

Dust + Dignity is an educational experience promoting dialogue + advancing social justice through the exploration of the relationship between music and visual art. We curated an exhibit featuring an audio tour with over 100 vinyl albums covers — hand-selected by five of Philadelphia’s most prominent DJ-Vinyl Collectors: Cosmo Baker, King Britt, Rich Medina, Skeme Richards, and DJ Junior.

Today, we are experiencing an outing of the racial ignorance that has long existed in our city, country, and surrounding world. Born out this injustice and in response to the ignorance is art. In art, we find sound. Music keeps us together; it heals and connects — it motivates and celebrates. Lyrics give life to our souls, the melodies align our hearts, and the rhythms stoke the fire our movements. Often-overlooked is the powerful connection between an album’s music and the accompanying album visual artwork that binds it all together. From Gil Scott Heron’s “Moving Target” to Kendrick Lamar’s highly-acclaimed 2015 release, “To Pimp a Butterfly”, the evolution of album artwork has transmitted the dynamism of music and social injustices.

Dust + Dignity aims to promote dialogue + advancing social justice through the exploration of the relationship between music and conscientiousness. This playlist hopes to provide the soundtrack to inspire you to continue this important conversation. Listen HERE
